Applications of variational methods are typically restricted to conservative systems. Some extensions to dissipative systems have been reported too but require ad hoc techniques such as the artificial doubling of the dynamical variables.…

The variational theorem for the scattering length [Cherny and Shanenko, Phys. Rev. E 62, 1646 (2000)] is extended to one and two dimensions. It is shown that the arising singularities can be treated in terms of generalized functions. The…

Metric mean dimension is a geometric invariant of dynamical systems with infinite topological entropy. We relate this concept with the fractal structure of the phase space and the H\"older regularity of the map. Afterwards we improve our…
